Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

The Mind Boggles

Hard not to know when I know what I'm seeing

The mind boggles

Cars on the road, no driver is needing

The mind boggles

Two out of three isn't quite as bad as

One out of four making me as mad as

I always get when the ball's in the net

Yet through my vein it's been

No man's an island, thank God for that

Imagine the where, you just have to laugh

Women at night on the island of their dreams

Watching repeats of repeats, they're repeating

The mind boggles

Where's the surprise, have you seen what you're seeing

The mind boggles

Show me a world where the people on it

Don't live in fear someone near will bomb it

Don't set aside that this ain't for those

Looked upon as poor

Show me a film where the violence doesn't

Glorify scenes you would think it mustn't

And yet we will for the thrill, cry out for more, more

The mind boggles

The mind boggles

Watching a team that you know won't deliver

The mind boggles

How can they not stop the rut getting bigger

The mind boggles

A nation that thrives on its independence

We'll have our leader to represent them

Take in the values we all respect, do they harm at all?

Not one of these things is God almighty

Being abusive and only slightly

Doing for us what we must while on His throne

Stretching a face so you look even younger

The mind boggles

Eyes you can now barely see out from under

The mind boggles

Now when it comes down to what you are thinking

The mind boggles

Sat in a boat that you know could be sinking

The mind boggles

Watching a show that you know is a bummer

The mind boggles

How could they not know that boss be your brother

The mind boggles

Where there's a will, let Him know, He delivers

The mind boggles

Burning them up as [?] quicker

The mind boggles
